Organic, Biodynamic Primitivo from Abruzzo That Overdelivers
Lunaria has been farming organically and biodynamically in Abruzzo for decades, and their Ruminat Primitivo Terre di Chieti is a compelling showcase of what this southern Italian grape can achieve in a cooler northern terroir. The 2024 vintage is bold and expressive — rich, layered, and alive with the kind of rustic complexity that makes Abruzzo one of Italy's most exciting value regions. Bart Hopkins - 67Wine.

The vineyards of Lumaria loom over 400 meters above sea level on the slopes of Parco Nazionale della Majella located 15 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea. The location and microclimate creates ideal conditions for organic and Biodynamic farming, and the estate has been Demeter certified since 2005.
Primitivo is a traditional southern Italian grape, so it is unusual to find one from as far north as Abruzzo. But, with that said, judging by the substance and intensity of flavor of the 2024 Ruminat Primitivo, maybe more should be planted there. On the nose, powerful aromas of red and black berry fruit waft from the glass with notes of wild herbs and dark chocolate. Full and robust in the mouth with good tannins to support the fruit and spicy complexity that lingers long on the finish. Great with burgers, pizza, pasta and strong cheeses.
